Vinyl flooring is no longer just a practical solution. It is increasingly becoming a deliberate design choice in interiors where not only functionality but also character and visual identity matter.
A recent presentation of the Amtico Spacia 2026 collection in Riga, organized by flooring specialist Anitra, provided an interesting insight into current trends. Nearly 100 architects, interior designers, and other industry professionals attended the event, evaluating the latest collection designs and selecting the options they would most like to use in their own projects.
The results revealed a clear trend.
While wood designs remain highly popular, terrazzo-inspired vinyl floors received the strongest response from professionals. The clear favorite was the Spacia Piazza Montara design, which received the highest number of votes.
In recent years, interiors have been dominated by calm tones and neutral surfaces. However, more and more clients and designers are looking for spaces with stronger character.
This is where terrazzo aesthetics come into play.
Modern terrazzo interpretations help:
• Give a space a distinct identity
• Create texture and visual depth
• Make minimalist interiors more engaging
• Avoid an overly sterile atmosphere
It is no surprise that these designs are becoming increasingly popular not only in offices and hospitality projects but also in private homes and apartments.
Architects observe that people increasingly want interiors that remain interesting for years to come.
Completely uniform and highly neutral floors can quickly become visually boring, while more structured designs give a space lasting individuality.
In addition, terrazzo patterns are practical in everyday use, as dust, minor dirt, and signs of daily wear tend to be less noticeable.
They are therefore increasingly used in:
• Kitchens
• Living rooms
• Shared spaces
• Offices
• Restaurants
• Hotels
Professional choices are driven by more than aesthetics alone.
LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring has become popular because it combines:
• High wear resistance
• Easy maintenance
• Good acoustic comfort
• Extensive design possibilities
• Suitability for many different types of spaces
This combination makes it possible to create bolder interiors without compromising practicality.
The choices made by nearly 100 industry professionals highlight several trends that are becoming increasingly relevant:
• Growing interest in textures
• More confident material selection
• Greater individuality in interiors
• Fewer sterile and overly neutral solutions
The popularity of terrazzo is one of the clearest signals that stronger material expression and personality are returning to interior design.
Neither photographs nor catalogs can fully convey a flooring material’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. That is why architects, interior designers, and homeowners often evaluate materials in person.
At Decco Centre, visitors can explore a wide range of flooring, tiles, doors, furniture, lighting, and other interior solutions in one location, comparing materials and creating a more cohesive interior concept. And, of course, visitors can also discover the extensive range of vinyl flooring available at the Anitra showroom.
Terrazzo designs add character, texture, and visual depth to interiors. They are increasingly popular in both homes and commercial spaces because they create more expressive interiors while maintaining a modern and elegant appearance. Daily wear and small amounts of dirt also tend to be less visible on terrazzo patterns.
At the Amtico Spacia 2026 presentation in Riga, attended by nearly 100 architects, interior designers, and other industry professionals, terrazzo-inspired vinyl flooring designs received the strongest response. The clear favorite was Piazza Montara, which received the highest number of votes.
LVT flooring combines design flexibility with practicality. It is durable, easy to maintain, provides good acoustic comfort, and is available in a wide variety of designs. For this reason, it is increasingly used in residential interiors, offices, restaurants, and hospitality projects.
